This engine, it's box, funnel, fuel tray and stack have all been with me now for 58 years (yes, I am 68).  Just to show that I have finally figured out how to directly load video from an iphone 6 to YouTube...here is a recent quick video of my Fleischmann 122/3:

That's great Rog that you still have it and in such good condition - anything I had at ten has been destroyed for over 64 years (yes, I'm 74)! 

Lovely engine, and in an amazingly nice condition


 So happy that you got that Iphone uploading figured out Rog, been missing your movies

You must have been a better kid than me Rog, I've got nothing from my childhood, I was too destructive, different now though. Lovely engine.....Allan.

Nice engine, and a great video.

Always a pleasure to watch your well crafted video's

I enjoyed that video alot, my friend.
Even if monitary value may be moderate; that engine must be worth a million in affectional value :-)
How long time from your initial introduction to modelsteam until you got your second model; and which was that ?

:-)

Ola, having gotten that engine in 1961, I played with it for a few years, then teen years came along and engine went on a shelf until late 2002 when I re-discovered steam. 

Bought my second engine in early 2003...a Jensen 25.  So more than 40 years from first to second engine...but I made up for that lapse with more than 100 additional engines over the next 15 years.  Now I am down to 26 total and they are very dear to me and far more manageable.

Great to see you still having fun with the engine that started it all Rog!, i have to say you have looked after it very well.

I ran my Wilesco Old Smokey Roller not so long ago which was my first engine bought in 2003 and very special to me, still runs great despite a bit of dezinc on the boiler.
